On April 24, 1915, Grigoris Balakian was arrested along with
some 250 other leaders of Constantinople’s Armenian community. It
was the beginning of the Ottoman Empire’s systematic attempt to
eliminate the Armenian people from Turkey—a campaign that continued
through World War I and the fall of the empire. Over the next four
years, Balakian would bear witness to a seemingly endless caravan
of blood, surviving to recount his miraculous escape and expose the
atrocities that led to over a million deaths.
Armenian Golgotha is Balakian’s devastating eyewitness account—a
haunting reminder of the first modern genocide and a controversial
historical document that is destined to become a classic of
survivor literature.
